It has been brought to my attention that I have belittled Cairnsman in the thread about Terry Milera returning to SA. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86921I would like to unreservedly apologize to Cairnsman for the remarks I made. To put this in context I will extract some quotes from the thread in question.

Cairnsman wrote:Yeah I'm not sure what indigenous has got to do with it. That is a very strange comment by Sainter K. Maybe she could elaborate.

Elaboration on her constant backhanders towards Pelchen would also be helpful. Just hard to understand as the comments are cryptic and lacking detail.

Cairnsman wrote:So Sainter K you said the club doesn't have a good track record with indigenous players, what did you mean by that?

SainterK wrote:Beg your pardon Cairnsman, I said no such thing

Cairnsman wrote:Pretty certain there was a post by you, one or two before Con's first post that is also is a direct response to you claiming the club doesn't have a good track record with indigenous players. Why did you delete it?

SainterK wrote:Well you should be certain, not "pretty" certain when you claim I'd say such a thing.

I deleted nothing.

I said no such thing.

Cairnsman wrote:Then I'm certain and you are liar...who would have ever thought!

Con's first post in this thread was in direct response to a post made by Sainter K. A post that no longer exists. My question is this, just because you can't explain where that post went, does it mean it never existed?

kosifantutti wrote:So we know you can't do Maths and now your Comprehension skills are on display for all to see. Borderbarry made the comment you are referring to and it is and always has been the fourth post in this thread.

My comments were way out of line, and again I apologise unreservedly to Cairnsman. I hope I have not caused him or his family any distress.

Where did I say I would apologise in lieu of a warning? The post was reported, and deemed not worthy of a warning by the other mods. A review was requested and is still being looked at by the other mods.

If you choose not to accept my heartfelt apology, I'm sure I can come to terms with that.

The review of the reported post is complete and no warnings will be issued.

BFUSA has accused me of calling SainterK a racist in that post. I have asked him to point out where I called her a racist.

BTW I note that you call people liars on a regular basis. Irrespective of whether you are right or wrong should you be given a warning for doing such a thing as was suggested by the mods.

If some delibrately lies I will tell them they are liars. Not sure you can get a warning for the truth.

I warn you now that you are telling the truth.

Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.

Or its a way of showing how stupid some of the reported posts are. Dont mind the idea at all. If i was a mod and getting stupid reports i would certainly be doing similar. By the way why cant a mod have a bit of sarcasm occasionally.

Gotta say I agree with Grumps here..... I don't know how many mods we have on here (I'm too lazy to look it up)...but I do believe the Mods should be anonymous....eg: 'Mod 1', 'Mod 2', 'Mod 3'...... they should be allowed to post their own opinions under their 'everyday' nics without it being linked to their moderator duties.

Why though? What is the exact issue if we know who they are? I would have a guess if they moderated as you suggested then may would complain they are hiding behind the name of mod 1 and so on. My guess is they cant win. For gods sake its only a footy forum not a forum that maystart world piece.

Not without someone watching the watchers.

Integrity is a rare beast.

even rarer around these parts as the both the past n recent history clearly fuckn shows.
